Choose a SideWe elected Scott Garrett to represent the interests of the people of New Jersey's 5th district in Washington. Instead he has signed an oath to Grover Norquist and moved directly in line with John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, devoting his energies to ineffectual, partisan politics, accomplishing nothing. It's time for Mr. Garrett to reaffirm his allegiance to his constituents by working toward creating jobs and lifting up New Jersey's struggling middle class.

Ban Fracking in the Delaware River WatershedThe Delaware River Basin Commission postponed their vote which had been scheduled to take place last November 21, 2011. The current temporary ban (moratorium) on Fracking in the Delaware River Watershed could be lifted at any time, and with very short notice, by a vote of the DRBC. This would threaten the environment and endanger the water supply of millions of people in parts of 4 States. The severity of the threat has now been broadened and increased by the recent enactment of PA Act 13. Review some concerns about Fracking at my "FRACKING-AWARENESS INFO DOCUMENT-5" (copy, paste address as hyperlink is disabled)-- https://docs.google.com/document/ d/1jNRoQUiIufCjTWCaEdfEsDOq1nlLHKQU9SM2bxa2E20/edit?pli=1# ...Google Document "FRACKING-AWARENESS INFO DOCUMENT-5" is also available for review at: http://tinyurl.com/Fracking-Awareness468 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Timothy Devaney

Elected Officials cannot debase the 1st amendmentMake it illegal for any elected official to lie as an employee of the people by the people. Do not allow any official tasked with making decisions that affects the lives of the people to whom they were elected to protect to use the 1st amendment as a sham and excuse for misinformation. Make them held to a higher level of accountability due to the level of office that they hold. We, the people of the United States of America, as their employer deserve nothing less than what any employer would ask of us.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cheri D Coleman

End High Stakes Testing In New HampshireNew Hampshire school children are spending too much time on standardized tests, practicing for tests and not enough time learning. These tests do nothing to actually help the students who take them. Worse yet, politicians are using the results of these tests to justify deep budget cuts for public schools and to punish good teachers. It's time to end the era of high-stakes standardized tests in New Hampshire.87 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jennifer Smith
